Man vs Wild

Ok. I enjoy watching Bear Grylls. He’s nuts. The good news is most likely I will never be in a situation where I need to do what he does. Thank God I won’t have to ever eat grubs or sushi in the form of raw fish or snakes. The other good news about not having to need his techniques is I probably won’t ever remember 1/2 of it if I would need it. Knowing my luck I’d eat the wrong plant and get totally sick and die.

The only thing I don’t like about the show is the fact that he catches and eats animals. I understand why he’s doing it. He’s showing how to catch and prepare food. But he really doesn’t need to… could give the techniques without actually killing the animals.  It’s just my thought. It’s a very good show and I do enjoy it.

Into The Unknown with Josh Bernstein

Josh Bernstein has done it again. He’s created a new show, Into the Unknown, that is both entertaining and educational. I was a big fan of his show on the History Channel – Digging for the Truth. Now he has a similar style show on Discovery – Into the Unknown.  I do miss the Indiana Jones style hat.

What I like about Josh’s show is that he’s very respectful of the cultures and religions he’s exploring. He’s also very respectful of the history that he is exploring – and he looks good in a kilt (see the Roman Gladiator episode). 😀  It seems he’s not afraid of showing that he dosn’t know something. And he always seems interested in what his interveiwee are saying. And he doesn’t seem to ask stupid questions or “dumb down” the program.

I was very disappointed when Josh was replaced with Hunter Ellis. Hunter just didn’t have the right stuff for the show. He did a really interesting show on the Huntley, but the show just didn’t have a spark. I’m very pleased that Josh has a new show digging into the unknown truths.

Chicken Cats

David got a delicious, yummy Perdue chicken from the Giant. It is REALLY good. It is moist and seasoned really well. Well, the cats think the same thing. As soon as David brought it in the house the cats started “velociraptoring” around the living room. Which means that they were moving around meowing and trying to get the chicken, hopping up on the chair that I was sitting in and being pushed off and hopping up on the coffee table and then the chair and then being pushed on the floor. They REALLY wanted some chicken, but it is too good to share – they can have the leftovers.  If there are any. They do this when we have very fragrent meats. Stevie is the worst. Because he’s brain damaged, he’s got to be corrected over and over and over. And David isn’t real good at correcting him.  I could be more consistant too.  Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh… kitties. If they were dogs what fun would they be?

Open Threads from Season 2

I had a bunch of open threads from Season 2. Some have been answered, some are still pending and may not be answered.  So here are my open threads… answered or not.

  1. Sheriff Jack Carter is remembering Henry Deacon using the memory mess-er-upper device thingy.  This hasn’t been addressed as of Episode 5 Season 3.
  2. Nathan Stark asks Allison Blake to remarry him because he can’t live without her and Kevin.  Well we all know now that Allison does decides to marry Nathan but he just goes floating out into time leaving Allison free to have a relationship with Jack. But will it happen?
  3. Carter and Callie Curie are dating.  Where is that going?  This is going nowhere as we all now know. Callie has not been written in and Allison is now free to start dating Jack. If she will.
  4. Where did Beverly Barlowe go after she was transported out of the bunker?  We may never know this answer. This is still an open thread.
  5. Where did the Artifact go after Kevin was transported?  This may never be answered. Stark was the one who was interested in the artifact. This is still an open thread.
  6. What’s going to happen to Henry?  Is he coming back to Eureka?  Thanks to Eva “The Fixer” Thorne, Henry is back and completely pardoned. But for Eva’s own evil purposes. Ah… what will come of this?
  7. What will happen to Jack if Henry doesn’t come back?  How will he figure anything out?  Irrelavant. Not important, not happening.

Here’s the new Eureka psychiatrist thought. Dr. Abbey Carter is a shrink, but if they bring her back Jack can’t have a relationship with Allison. However we’ve discovered in Episode 4, Season 3 that Jack’s sister Lexi is ALSO a shrink.  And she’s going to have a baby and needs a loving family to be around… so MAYBE, not knowing the future, she’s going to become the new Beverly.  Just a new thought.
